Seeing encrypted code in php

I have some files with encrypted code.
I am trying to edit the pages and believe
the encrypted portion has some code I need to edit.

Is there a way to print out the code to see the
raw code without the encryption or any other way to
view the code??

thanks

Forgive me for thinking that if the code is encrypted, keeping you from
editing it is exactly why it's encrypted... and I'm guessing encrypting it
from the original source code is how it got that way. If there's some easy
way to decrypt it and edit it I'd be surprised.

It depends on the way it's coded.
If it's coded with IonCube encoder, then it's not possible to
convert it back to PHP. You should contact original developer of the
code and ask him to change it or you could write your own code (or ask
someone to) that would suit your needs.

ionCube 'compiles' PHP scripts to intermediate state (called 'opcode')
and then encrypts it. There is no easy way to revert the process.

Unencrypt it. But unless you encrypted it, you're not likelyh to be
able to. That's why it's encrypted; duhh!

A client asked me to install some code he had purchased - I said I
would if it met our security guidelines after a code examinition at £1/
source line. He agreed. The code arrived - it was encrypted - which
meant ti immediately failed. But it included the PHP decryptor:

eval(str_rot13(base64_decode("................

Once our 1337 team of uber-hackers (;) reverse-engineered this we
found the PHP source code reflected the quality of the encryption
algorithm.

But like Piotr said - if the encryption has been done properly then
its not worth the effort.
